The Wheel

Paramount Theatre
It's so apt that The Wheel would roll into Truckin' that the outro is short but the rest is very nice.

Eyes Of The World

Merriweather Post Pavilion
Jerry really mines the changes on this one and pulls out plenty of little gold nuggets (like Coltrane). Good interplay, too. An inspired version.

Veterans' Memorial Coliseum
A cheesy video of this kickass version would have Garcia playing atop a steam locomotive as it barrels down the track.

Incomplete, but what remains is top-notch and essential.

Is the solo on the album the full thing? Regardless, it's very nice, in that intricate, early-'Tiger' way.
Row Jimmy

Boston Garden
Definitely a really good one.
Dark Star

Boston Garden
There were 7 'Dark Star's in '74.
Uncle John's Band

Nassau Coliseum
Just cause something is barely noticed by the radar doesn't mean it is optimal to not check it out.
Eyes Of The World
Feb. 28, 1973
Salt Palace
Currently sits in the top 10 for '73 Eyes and, despite the sense of discovery and energy that Eyes often offered in this year, I'd say is about right. February '73 was a great month for Eyes.
